A Quick Guide to the 2017 Halloween Events

Overview

Brief rundown of what the 2017 Halloween events are, and how to get the exclusive items.

How to check what events are occurring

Currently occurring events are listed in the Tab menu below the player count.

Halloween Character Event (Trick-or-Treating)

In this event, a random Halloween-related NPC spawns in a random location in the plaza and gives you a free Halloween-related item when you talk to them. You can get more than one item from the same NPC, but once you get an item, you have to wait some time before getting another. On average, you can get around three items per NPC before they despawn.
Edit: I have been told that each NPC stays in the plaza for 10 minutes. Additionally, there is a 2.5 minute wait before claiming your second item, and a 5 minute wait after that before claiming your third item. Thanks to [opst]DovNut for this info.

Known spawn locations:

• Next to the Poseidon rollercoaster (both sides)
• Next to the launcher on the beach
• Behind the Ferris Wheel
• Next to the Laser Tag arena
• Behind the Laser Tag arena
• Underneath the rock arch behind the Bowling Alley
• Next to the railing of the Toy Stop
• Underneath the railing next to Songbirds
• Next to the Theatre
• Next to the beach house behind Oasis
• At the corner between Central Circuit and Sweet Suites
• On the left side of the entrance of the bowling alley

Items given:

• Candy Bucket (2016 Halloween Item)
• Nasty Cleaver
• Floating Candle
• Floating Candelabra
• Jack-o-lantern
• Floating Book Pile
• Nightmare Crab
• Lantern
• Skull Candle

Notes:

• If pressing E on the NPC doesn’t do anything (no item popup or dialogue screen), try interacting with it from the back or from on top.

Forgotten Remains Event

When the event begins, several tombstones with skulls will spawn across the beach, and pressing E on one will give you one Forgotten Remains. There is a 10 second cooldown between collecting a Forgotten Remains and being able to collect another. Tombstones despawn when you or another player uses one, or when the event ends.

Items given:

• Forgotten Remains

Notes:

• You can check how many Forgotten Remains you own by looking at the bottom right of the screen while the Q menu is open.
• There is an issue with the number of Forgotten Remains not updating, so you may need to wait a while before you’re registered as owning them. In some cases, however, opening and closing the Esc menu may cause the number to update.

Beelzebub’s Cauldron

Beelzebub’s Cauldron is located in the center of the plaza, replacing the fountain. Upon use, it will consume one Forgotten Remains and award an exclusive Halloween item.

Items given:

• Eyeball
• Jack-o-Lantern
• Evil Cauldron
• Miniature Ghost Pet
• Throwable Cleaver
• Throwing Knives
• Spooky Gun

Other Events

All of the following events only pay out units, giving you one unit per point earned. They are all located in the plaza center, where the cauldron is found.

Players are given a six-bullet revolver and compete to shoot as many pumpkins as possible. Shooting a pumpkin gives you 10 points, which are multiplied by a combo multiplier that increases with each successive hit (x1 to x6). Missing a shot, taking too long to shoot, or reloading resets the combo multiplier.

Players get a gun with unlimited ammo and compete to earn as many points as possible by shooting ghosts. The further away a ghost is from the ground, the more points are given.
Shooting a Hell Spawn (red orb) awards 90 points, no matter the distance.
